Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.33 cups Hot water
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 large Egg (for sealing wrappers)
- 0.25 cups Avocado oil or coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Slowly pour the hot water into the dry mixture while stirring continuously to form a dough.
Once the dough comes together, knead it gently for 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped scallions, and sesame oil. Mix well until fully combined.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Generously flour a surface with almond flour to prevent sticking.
Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle.
Beat the egg and use it to lightly brush the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing to seal the edges completely.
Heat avocado oil or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove wontons from the skillet and drain any excess oil on paper towels.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as tamari or a spicy chili oil.
